Punishment List
by Sridhar on Nov 14, 2006 11:07 AM   Permalink

If you see the number of drunk driving cases, it would appear that more than 70% of it comes from the "high class" people. Here are a list of laws that could be implemented.

1. Increase in "Fine" amount. The range may start from Rs.20,000 per head (if the person dies) and Rs.10,000 per head (if the person is injured; exclusive of the medical costs)
2. A column in the Driver's license, which has the place for 3 stamps. In the event of drunken driving, the traffic police, 2 passers by with undisclosed identities and the guilty must sign a form linked to the drivers license. If it's the first time, then a stern warning can be issued, with his/her name appearing in leading news papers. If it's the second time, then the fine/ 6 months non-bailable jail term can be imposed. If it's the third and final time, the entry must go into RTO records, to strip the person of his license. An entry must be made in the passport and the 4th attempt must strip him of his passport and all perks he enjoys as a citizen.

I believe people take it easy because of our law. I know that this cannot be done in one step. First a small locality may be chosen. Then the same can be extended.
